I haven't really done much the holidays have put a halt to doing much but I know for fact it will be a very good Christmas for Dad and the Charger.

I did go to the local classic car salvage yard and found a 67 Charger that had power brakes so I bought the firewall plate, pedal and linkage assembly. I also took the booster and master cylinder for cores.



I cleaned up and painted the headlight assemblies

After:





A lot more updates will start after the New Year.

Great to see first Generation Chargers on this site. Your work looks good! I also like to see that someone has the courage to paint the car in his own garage. Keep us updated.  :2thumbs:

I got the new power brakes on and all the brake lines run.





The transmission has been rebuilt



I'm hoping to have the engine and transmission back in and running by the end of the weekend.

There are a ton of parts ready to be put back on the car.

I started doing the bodywork yesterday. I'm very lucky the body is super solid no rust at all to repair and not very many dents or dings. So it should be it color pretty quick.
